The FDA Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation was published on September 17, 2015. It applies to Facilities required to register with FDA under section 415 of the Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act must comply if they manufacture, process, pack or hold human food. Compliance with this rule becomes mandatory for large firms on September 2016.

Although there are some activities that are exempt from the preventive controls, most facilities will need to have a “Preventive Controls Qualified Individual” to complete certain activities.

A “Preventive Controls Qualified Individual” is someone who has “successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls at least equivalent to that received under a standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by FDA or be otherwise qualified through job experience to develop and apply a food safety system.”

The Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation (referred to as the Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation) is intended to ensure safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States. The regulation requires that certain activities must be completed by a “preventive controls qualified individual”. This course, developed by FSPCA, is the “standardized curriculum” recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a “preventive controls qualified individual.” Your training certificate will be issued by the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO).

This course is taught by Cynthia Weber, a food safety expert with many years of food safety experience, lead assessor and Preventive Controls Lead Instructor.
